Europe nears economic accountability for occupation
The article discusses the possibility of the European Union suspending its trade agreement with Israel as a result of the escalating Israeli aggression in Gaza and its commission of crimes and destruction, which could lead to significant economic losses for Israel amounting to up to one billion euros annually. There is also a risk of losing preferential access to the European market and facing tariffs of up to 29%. Figures indicate that in 2025, Israel's trade with the EU totaled 43 billion euros, with the EU accounting for 31.7% of Israel's merchandise trade, highlighting Israel's heavy dependence on European markets. The political escalation threatens this agreement, as the majority of EU member states support imposing economic sanctions, despite some countries like Germany and Italy opposing them for historical and economic reasons. Growing popular and parliamentary pressure within Europe is pushing toward punitive measures against Israel, which could jeopardize its economic interests and gradually increase the economic isolation of the occupation.
